The Amsterdam Arena, host of the final.

The Amsterdam Arena has served as the home stadium of Ajax since 1996. The previous home for Ajax's European matches, the Olympisch Stadion, also hosted European finals.

One-legged finals include the 1962 European Cup final, in which Benfica defeated Real Madrid 5–3, and the 1977 European Cup Winners' Cup Final, in which Anderlecht were beaten 2–0 by Hamburger SV. It also hosted the second legs of the 1981 UEFA Cup Final between AZ '67 and Ipswich Town, and of the 1992 UEFA Cup Final between Ajax and Torino.[2]
